The Story Behind Loving Kai:
In March 2020, To Live For (LLC) was very excited and humbled to announce our newest project, a book titled, “Loving Kai” (Kai is the Hawaiian word for Ocean), to be published on WORLD OCEANS DAY, JUNE 8, 2020! “Loving Kai” is meant to inspire a passion for the awareness and protection of all of our oceans while providing financial support for The Ocean Project (theoceanproject.org) and the global event they coordinate, World Oceans Day (worldoceansday.org). We sought stories, poems, photography, graphic art, paintings, and sculptures from around the globe. We have been humbled by the response.
The following countries and provinces/states will be represented in “Loving Kai” by close to 60 unique contributors.
| Hawaii | Singapore | Indonesia |
| Mexico | Bahamas | Michigan |
| Panama | Italy | Columbia |
| Switzerland | Slovenia | Maine |
| British Columbia | Washington, D.C. | New Mexico |
| New Hampshire | Alberta | California |
| Wisconsin | Oregon | Washington |
| North Carolina | Massachusetts | Missouri |
New York |
We are grateful for their time, their energy, their talents, and their inspiring messages because “Loving Kai” was meant to be a true community collaborative, and it has become just that.
On June 8, 2020, there will be a global celebration of our oceans, and we hope you will join in this celebration by purchasing a copy of “Loving Kai.” Proceeds will go to World Oceans Day (.org) to help support their goal of protecting more ocean space. “Loving Kai” will be available for purchase on June 8, 2020 as a paperback book or as a Kindle e-book on Amazon.
Please check back for additional details as June 8th approaches. Thank you, again, for all of our writers and artists who have made “Loving Kai” become a reality and to you for your consideration of purchasing a copy in support of World Oceans Day.
Mahalo and Blessings,
Paul and Donna Maria
